OUTDOOR TRUTHS There's something about "bringing home the bacon" or as in my case, the turkey. I came in from our opening day hunt with bird in hand. I stalked it, shot it, hauled it home, cleaned it, and hand- ed it to my wife knowing that I had provided Sunday dinner for the next day. I honestly felt like I had touched the "hunter" part of man's makeup. I felt like I had fulfi lled one of my purposes as the male gender of the homo-sapien species. Now as long as Food City was close I knew we wouldn't starve but it just seemed fi tting for me to take the role as "hunter" in the hunter/ gatherer relationship between the male and female. You know, men are hunters and women are gatherers. Let me explain. My wife gives me a list of 2 or 3 things to pick up at the gro- cery store. On that list is toilet paper. It sounds easy enough, but let me show you the difference in the sexes. I go to aisle 12, fi nd the extra fl uffy Charmin bathroom tissue, load it into my cart and go home. Here's how I (man/hunter) did it. I was given the prey to locate (bathroom tissue). I hunted it down (aisle 12). I picked the trophy (extra fl uffy). I killed it (bare hands). I loaded it's carcass into my truck (I put the tissue into the cart). Now this seemed like such a simple task but how different it is from the woman/gatherer side of things. My wife has the same list. She knows that the toilet paper is in aisle 12, so she easies over to aisle 12, going through aisles 9, 10, and 11 fi rst. After arriving she sees all of the brands and styles. Immediately she begins to calculate. She compares the number of sheets in each roll, the amount of plies per sheet, and the number of rolls in each package. She measures, weighs, and fi gures. Then, before she makes her decision, she wonders if the other store may have it even cheaper. Then after GATHERING all of this needless (did I say that) informa- tion, she decides on the Cottonelle. And that's the difference in the hunter and gatherer. I'm not sure why God made men and women so different. He must have a real sense of humor. But no matter how much we are different we all have an important purpose in life; not just as a man or woman but as individuals. And there's no bet- ter feeling than doing what we were made to do.

W i l d l i f e R e s o u r c e s C o m m i s s i o n is reminding people to enjoy wildlife with respect and caution, as encounters with wildlife increase in the spring, when many species bear young. Handling, feeding or moving wildlife can harm or ultimately kill the animal, and poses a risk for human health and safety. Also, it is illegal to keep native wildlife as a pet in North Carolina. "Well-meaning people can do tremendous harm when attempting to 'rescue' young animals," said Ann May, an extension wildlife biologist. "One of the best approaches to protecting young wildlife is to keep pets, especially cats, indoors." Many species, such as white-tailed deer, do not constantly stay with their young and only return to feed them. While a fawn might look abandoned and alone, it is waiting for the female to return. A fawn is well-equipped to protect itself. By the time it is 5 days old it can outrun a human, and within a few weeks of birth, can escape most predators. "Fawns are well camoufl aged and usually remain undetected by predators because they are spotted and lack scent," May said. "The doe will return to the fawn several times a day to nurse and clean it, staying only a few minutes each time before leaving again to see k food. Taking a fawn from the wild will do more harm than good." For other species, the parent may return and become aggressive in an attempt to defend its young. Feeding wildlife may seem harmless or even helpful. However, it causes the animal to lose its natural fear of humans and seek more human food, May said. An animal may become aggressive or cause property damage in its search for more human food. Wildlife also can transmit diseases, including rabies and roundworm, to humans.

It's not.
